When V possessed him (was Re: VLVL [8] ...)

[RICHARD_WILSON at udlp.com]

     speaking of possession...
     
     Young Stencil spends an entire novel possessed by a mysterious woman 
     whose very existence is in question...
     
     Oedipa Maas spends the beginning and ending of another novel possessed 
     by a dead man who collected stamps...
     
     Slothrop spends his entire life possessed by a rocket...
     
     M & D and Co. spend part of a novel possessed by the spiritual energy 
     of a boundary line....
     
     (and probably many others)....
     
     so, there seems to be a common thread of "possession" in the body of 
     P-lit, no?
